Kids’ birthday parties can be expensive, so when multiple children don’t turn up, after saying they would, it can be disheartening.
So this mum is asking if she’d be within her rights to ask parents to pay back what she paid for their children to attend.
The mum says she hosted a birthday party for her child at a local play centre, which cost around $40 per child. On the day of the party, two siblings who had said they were coming, didn’t show up.
“The parents were apologetic but said they had forgotten and wouldn’t make it on time for any of the party,” the mum explained on an online forum.
One of the siblings had a dietary requirement and I paid an extra $20 for different food for them.
“Am I being unreasonable to ask that the parents reimburse me for the cost? If you were going to do this, how would you word it?”
The mum says she knows it was her choice to have an expensive party, but is interested in the opinions of other parents.
